Jeep SRT revival

[Jody Treadway]

Wanna borrow my laptop and hp tuner lol

It was part of the kit. They were cool enough to swap it out even though it's been nearly a year.

Hopefully you'll wash it....

There's a LOT of stank on it!

It lives
Got the new tune installed today and she fired right up.


Let it get to operating temp, burped the coolant, changed the oil and refilled with fresh 0W-40 synthetic. Pulled it outside and pressure washed the stank away.

Got some minor punch list stuff to knock out this week like AC recharge, new dipstick tube and a good test drive.

I forgot how boring the factory exhaust note is on those. Still a ripper though.

so bad.
If I was keeping it, I'd probably do a muffler delete and keep the resonators. I like that tone the best

I've done the resonator delete on my durango rt and its ok. Better than sounding like a grandpa truck. Can't say I've knowing heard one done the other way around.

Looks and sounds great!

Well, the SRT is done. I had a pesky check engine light that I thought was in the "turn off MDS" tune. Come to find out, you gotta plug the camshaft oil actuator back in after deleting the MDS. I dug the harness out of the trash and plugged it back in. All good!
The transfer case had the way too common issue of a knocking sound at idle when shifting from D to R. Does it for about 5 seconds and stops for a while. Also, it was binding up when turning. A new Transfer Case Control Module (FDCM) cleared it up. Luckily, SRTs are so common (sarcasm) they give them FDCM away (more sarcasm). But it's fixed and totally done.

Definitely glad I decided to rebuild the engine instead of buying a long block. Saved a bunch of coin and I know 100% how it went together.
